  • CBS Copyright © 1974 Loving You Thomas J. Mitchell.

  • eddie was speaking some real shit in this song. men and women today need to take heed to this. "as long as i keep food on the table, long as i keep the bills payed, LONG AS IM LOVING YOU, LONG AS YOU LOVING ME, EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT! we let so many irrelevant things today define what a relationship between man and woman is supposed to be mainly sex and money, and because of this the family structure has been ruined. just be a man and she be a woman everything is peace.main thing is love. peace

  • Just for you my Baby...

  • Music like this just DOES something to u...you feel it in your SOUL...guess thats why its soul music huh? lol

  • Soothing feeling.....

  • There's, no doubt. They just don't make music like this no more. Beautiful,lyrics and music.These songs are written from the heart. best era ever. We need to get back to basics.

  • I love these guys. So real.

  • Hit #1 on the Billboard R&B chart for 1 week on Nov 7, 1987

  • Call me a sucker for LOVE Songs...I really really love Motown-Soul Music.........

  • Great comeback song for the O'Jays. I never to excited to hear from these guys again, when they released this in 1987. We can also pay homage to Mr, Gamble and Mr. Huff for helping to make it happen.

  • WHEN I GET MARRIED....DIS IS DA SONG I WILL HAVE PLAYING.....AS MY WIFE IS WALKING DOWN DA ISLE TOWARDS ME.....

  • eh emm...Ima use this as my wedding walk... i made my decision..

  • the definition of music is the art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. When i hear a song that's about killing others, i dont feel beautiful expressions filled with harmony. I feel expressions of destruction. I think of war, which is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate!!

  • man when your in love or falling in love,it tells u how it is,thumbs up to real love!!! And to the o'j.

  • Southeast DC 4 Li WHITES yeah the J's r the pimpin of all pimpin just listen too these pimps keepin the game MOVING how Tyme fly it ain't easy but it's life!!!

  • ONE OF THE BEST !!! LOVE THIS SONG...THIS IS A SONG ABOUT REAL LOVE !!!

  • I remember my Mom & Dad dancing to this

  • Tuneeeee yesssss im only 23 yrs old but i remember this being played in my home

  • This the jam.

  • "Everything is alright!"

    

  • Yes.

  • They don't make music like this anymore. Gotta Love It !!!

  • @ki2poetry Shoot, I don't mind my kids adapting to this Genre if I had them.

  • @ki2poetry No. I dont love it that they dohnt make music like this no more. In fact I HATE IT! lol . There needs to be cleansing in the music industry and a new order established or re-established LOL. but hey what can i say.at least we got these oldies to hold on to.

  • @americangangster86 . Agreed . Oldies but Goodies

  • omg cqgmickey you are so right. For real this music is for the grown and today's men are just pitiful... but yet today's women have also changed. I love the O'jays... I wish my life was filled with the love he sings about

  • Love this song its there best R.I.P W.Powell

  • im only 13 but i grew up listening to these types of songs. all tanks to my dad and my cousin...R.I.P. Mario Lopez(cousin). He got shot.But I always use tese songs in good and bad times. Now all the kids at school sre like wht kind of music is tht? and i say"its good,soul filling, slow dancing music". They dont understand what thery're missing bcuz they're so brainwashed into being mainstream tht they dont even know whts going on. i admit i do the shuffle nd listen to new music but I LOVE OLDIES

  • Slow dancing at it's best...basement parties type of song!!!!Definitely remember this from high school! They don't make music like this any more. I find myself listening/reminiscing about this type of music. I love some of the new artist but overall not many artist out today that can make music like this. Timeless...

  • I'm with cqgmickey, only thing I would add is the one thing that makes this song complete, is the same thing that make all of us complete. LOVE-- that's why he is willing to do all those other things- But most people can accept LOVE, because they don't LOVE themselves. Truth is, according to the word of God, It's a man's duty to LOVE his woman & take care of his family, not a choice. XOXO

  • Now this is music. It was so simple in the 70's,The most beautiful music ever written came from the 60's,70's 80's then some where in the 90's we lost want music was really about!!

  • This was my dad's fav song to dedicate to my mama. God Bless both their souls. Thank God for this song to help me remember the love that they once shared and that special love that I pray carries over into eternity....

  • One of my favorite slow jams. There used to be a time when artists were real artist. Now its sad but most so-called artist are out for money and recording junk for corny-ass commercial record companies. Some people laugh and say thats old school, but id rather bump old school because at least they had integrity, instead of the stupid, ignorant music thats out now. Thanks a million for this post.

  • Deep...that is all I can type.

  • sweet sweet music dammmm

  • "Long as I keep food on the table, long as I keep the bills paid baby, long as I'm loving you'......Brothers don't sing about that no more, it's all about how he can sex you down, sisters don't want to be taken care of according the songs, their "independent".....They don't make them like they used too anymore, nothing wrong with a man taking care of you and a woman wanting to be taken care of in every area of her life.....relationships today are all twisted, now women taking care of men SMH

  • @cqgmickey Aint that the truth! I'm only 33 but I tell all my little cousins to let a man be a man...smh

  • @cqgmickey My husband is taking care of me. He keeps food on the table, he keeps ALL the bills paid and he's loving ME. While he's doing all that and some, I'm cooking full course meals everyday, keeping the house clean, washing his clothes, etc and loving him right back. We do not have any kids. He told me he was going to take care of me and he is. I'm blessed. I love my hubby. That's one ole skool relationship with young blood. He's 30 and I'm 28.

  • @constancelashun My husband takes care of our family, I've been an at home mom for 6yrs now, going on 7....But this is so rare...I too, clean and cook everyday, but 10 years into our marriage I am finally, truly learning my role and place as a biblical wife. This society has taken the roles of a man and woman, reversed them and no one is really happy with that. The man/husband is to the head man in charge, he gives direction, protection, he provides, gives instruction & love

  • @cqgmickey That was GOD'S plan for man/husband to be the head, protect, and provide. I am in total agreement with you. Society has taken the roles of man and woman. It's reversed. Also in some cases that I know of, society has taken GOD out period. HE does not exist according to some or a lot of people.  That's not GOD'S way or HIS plan according to HIS WORD.

  • @constancelashun 2/2 the woman is the follow/carry out his instruction, provide a place of rest from all that man's worries, give him love and comfort when the world is being cruel to him. She is to take care of the home and help him in every aspect of his life, especially with his children. Women don't like the term of being made for man, but that is what we are....The most high God gave Eve to adam as a gift, a present, & helper to him.

  • @cqgmickey AMEN!!!

  • @constancelashun 3/3 When you have a gift being given to you, the present doesn't say to you what it is or isn't going to do (women).............And when a gift is given, you cherish it, appreciate it, love it and protect it (men)

  • @cqgmickey AMEN AGAIN!!!

  • turning 54 18th feb!!..this was the song at Texas Southern University!!pledging AKA!!..memories.....

  • THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE OLE SKOOL R&B GROUP, I GROW LISTENING TO THIS KIND OF MUSIC. THE MUSIC TODAY DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME CONTENT. JUST LISTEN TO SOME OF THE MUSIC AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

    Anthony Figgiani

  • the ojays is the greatest of all times

  • THAT IS WHY I AM AN OLDHEAD... Because in the 70's we knew what made a woman tick.. music like this. Get it right YOUNGENS!!!!

  • That's what's up....these new singers need to get on this level. This how you talk to a REAL WOMAN

  • Yes, yes, yes

  • Such a beautiful song..............

  • after a long day this is the most soothing song ever my mom used 2 blast this song!!!

  • i could make ten babies with my husband off this song not wanting ten but this A TRUE CLASSIC!!!!!

  • this must be were the myth of mandingo sexuallity started

  • Did they make a song or what?

  • REAL MUSIC CLASSY!!!!!!!

  • The Ojays are the best R&B singers of all time. Next to the Temps

  • @imbees2 Funny you should say that. I read in Otis Williams' book that they were friendly rivals early in their careers.

  • This song is the epitome of what's called "the quiet storm"!!!

  • How do you not like a song like this? Young, so-called R&B singers, take note from the greats like the O'Jays.

  • This is 1 of my most played songs im glad it cant skip lol!!!

  • My fav.. O jay's joint....reminds me of uncle mike..good times in the BX...i love you man....thanks 4 showin me the ropes

  • This is probably my all-time favorite O'Jays song!!!

  • This song if for my parents 40th Anniversary next year...

  • This will be playing on my Honeymoon night.

  • what happen to this kind love, this songs hits you like a good Gospel song

  • This reminds me to Simply Red. O'Jays might have influenced them...?

  • real music the kind you can sit down and relax to!

  • This is one my favorites too... The Portrait of a Black Mafia Princess by Ingrid Allen

  • I was born in 1980. I always thought this was one of their 70's hits. When it was on the radio back when I was a kid, I thought the dj was "taking me back." This song has their early 70's flavor written all over it. It puts me in the mind of Cry Together and Let Me Make Love to You. Funny I'm just realizing through your comments that this was a 1987 hit, the first one they'd really had in about 10 years. Regardless, this is one of my very favorite from the Jays.

  • @Codycole80

    "I always thought this was one of their 70's hits."

    I did too!!! When I first heard my older brother playing this back 87 (when I was 18) on a cassette, I thought it was one of their older tracks from an old album (like a b-side song) that I just never heard before. My sister who is 4 years younger than me, thought it was "Levert" because they had a couple of hits out at the time, Lol!!! Classic O'Jays though, very beautiful song and timeless.

  • @MrJuly1990ish you're not the only one who thought that.......i thought the same thing,and this came out 2 years after i was born,late 80's wow......one of my favorite songs.......

  • This is such a beautiful song and everytime i hear it i just want to cry....because it reminds me of my very dear friend who pass away.... i can hear her sing this song that she really loved.. but at the same time it still has good memories also....i miss ya Angie .... ya gonna always be my girl...RIP...

  • Hand down the best RnB group ever! Not only that, they are role models for any music artist. They been together for so long. With all their legendary success, they were able to maintain commitment, love, and respect after all these years.

  • saw them on UnSung last night and just had to hear more - there is nothing like the Philly sound

  • @Damali5610 i so agree....i really enjoyed and glad TV One showcasted The O'jays. I learned so much.  I love the O'Jays

  • I was about 12 or 13 when this came out. I remember we'd blast this joint while my grandfather was driving us school shopping . Me, my cousins, and my sister would sing the " you know you make me feel..." part at the top of lungs like this was our song. those were the days.

  • sweet sweet music

  • Making love music, Thanks for posting.

  • oOOo... De la vraie musique de romance... Nice !

  • HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THE SONG ..(WHAT A WOMAN)..IT A BEAUTIFUL SONG...IT IS HOTTTTT....IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT LP IT IS FROM...

  • They don't make them like this anymore

  • @xsoldiergirlx1 They sure don't. This is "baby-making" music.;-)

  • These were the days when my people just SANG!

  • Uncle Walter and Eddy, Eddy, Eddy!

    I would return home from one of their concerts and just be in awe!!!

  • I enjoyed this to the fullest! Watching the videos from back in the '80's & '90's is awesome for me, so I can't imagine what it must be like for the Ojay's. I enjoyed seeing The Ojay's, The Whisper's and The Dell's perform at many different venues. During those times, The Dell's refused to allow the audience to video their performances. If anyone surreptitiously obtained video of The Dells please please post! I'm sure even they would appreciate the value of it by now. Anywho, this one certainl

  • I really like this song...heard it for the first time on aol free radio...grown folk music.....ever since then im hooked...

  • making love music.!!!

  • i sure know how to appreciate gud music for a 14 year old

  • I'm a music fanatic, my sister turmed me on to this song. She's the oldest and I'm the youngest out of four kids. She would come home on weekends from from Dillard Univ. and bring all the lastest albums. God I miss those days!

  • Classic! :)

  • this song makes me fall in love with my man over and over again

  • The songwriters and producers of this era and before were phenomenol,but the way eddie and walt had the ability to interpet what they wrote took the songs to another level.The sad reality is that singers,songwriters and producers of this kind are no more,which means that this type of music will never be again.

  • AMAZING..........,,

  • Classic song back in 1987. It was the best song off the album.

  • I remember coming home from the clubs and sometimes, put this cut on and continue dancing with my girl.

  • REAL music

  • O'Jays made music in the mid '80s? I did not realize that! I been trying to search for this song beginning several months ago! I even typed in some of the lyrics I remembered! Finally,Finally, FINALLY my searching has prevailed! And now I can FINALLY download this at first chance and jam to this song like coo-koo! I'll have the cd worn the mess out! The cd will be like "STOP PLAYING ME!!!" Talk about a song for the REPEAT button if there is one!

    God bless you,and THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH, hsp100

  • Put the kids to bed and break out a bottle of Crown and handle up.

  • This is from the Backstabbers LP.

  • THIS IS THE SHIT.... REAL MUSIC...

  • If this aint the best damn song ever! smh!!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SO VERY VERY MUCH I MADE BABYS ON THIS SONG.

  • You got it right. Walter Williams is his name. Everyone seems to forget it for some odd reason.

  • man oh man I love this song!
